Supreme Court – the inside storyIn my lifetime, I’d like to see this building re-purposed as an educational, cultural or community development center. A place for learning, discovery and multicultural recognition.

Indigenous art gallery centrepiece of Gunner’s plans for AliceI suggest that the shortlisted designs are presented as scale models for the community to see and respond too before a final decision is made.
3D models that show how the building and other elements will sit within the chosen site and relate to the immediate environment.
This was how it used to be done so that anyone could see the proposed development at the local shopping center before giving their feedback.
Computer generated images such as “artist’s impressions” can be distorted and are not accessible to everyone.
If a 3D scale model had been presented for the new supreme court building, the community could have responded to the design before it was actually built. It’s too late now.
I also agree with Steve Thorne’s comment.

I’m a casual rider and love exploring the tracks and trails around town with friends or on my own.
It is a great way to get fit and experience the sights and sounds of the wonderful rugged country we live in.
I am grateful to everyone who helps build and maintain the tracks.
